There are various social issues in the world in each region.
As the Komatsu Group develops its business globally, we listen to the voices of people living in the various local communities in our areas of operation, and actively carry out support activities to improve the living standards. We consider conducting such social contribution activities as a responsibility of doing business around the world.
Komatsu Australia Pty. Ltd. (KAL)’s “Live Your Dream” program is an employee-led, application-based initiative aimed at supporting community-based causes. The initiative was built on a simple but powerful belief: that we can achieve more by backing the causes our people genuinely care about. Since its launch in 2017, the program has been implemented annually, providing grants of AUD $10,000 per project to non-profit organizations and community initiatives proposed by employees. Now in its 10th year, the program has become a cornerstone of KAL’s CSR activities.
Live Your Dream gives our employees the opportunity to actively champion a charity, supported by the credibility and resources of Komatsu. This approach creates meaningful value across three key areas - our people, our business, and the charities we support.
This program supports a wide range of focus areas, including education and youth development, healthcare and support for people with disabilities, food security, mental health, and broader community initiatives. In some cases, projects combine corporate donations with fundraising efforts and volunteer activities, further amplifying their impact.
As a locally driven, employee-inspired initiative, the program contributes to addressing diverse social challenges by enabling community-focused initiatives that reach local needs beyond the scope of traditional corporate activities.

In February 2026, Komatsu India Pvt. Ltd. (KIPL) provided essential equipment and furniture, including desktops and an interactive panel, for a computer lab at the Government Pre-University College in Jakkur, Bengaluru, to enhance students’ access to practical and online learning.
This initiative supports students’ academic development by improving access to digital resources and helping bridge the digital divide, particularly for underprivileged students. It enables engagement in online learning, research, and skill development. In addition, advanced interactive panel boards create a modern, engaging, and collaborative learning environment, enhancing students’ understanding of complex topics.
This initiative, led by the Women Sub-committee, reflects KIPL’s commitment to empowering future talent and fostering social development in the region, and will continue to provide ongoing support to nearby educational institutions.
Komatsu Forest Indústria e Comércio de Máquinas Florestais Ltda. (KFB) implements the “Reverte Project” as an initiative that combines resource recycling with community support. This project involves repurposing used employee uniforms into blankets, which are then donated to organizations and social welfare programs that support local residents in need. It contributes not only to waste reduction and the promotion of a circular economy, but also to the creation of social value.
Since 2024, KFB has been carrying out this initiative in partnership with a recycling company, Uniformes do Bem. In fiscal year 2025, approximately 52 kg of uniforms were collected and provided, and in fiscal year 2026, 96.6 kg have already been collected. As approximately 1.5 kg of material is required to produce one blanket, this initiative contributes to improving the living conditions of many beneficiaries.
In addition, the initiative is widely communicated within the company as part of its ESG activities, helping to raise employee awareness.
